Kingston raises property tax for 2012 By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON -- Council unanimously passed the municipality’s 2012 budget on Monday night. The $8 million spending plan comes with a property tax increase from 1.264 mills to 1.315 mills. A mill is a $1 tax for every $1,000 of assessed property valuation. Monday’s action was the final reading of the budget, which will officially go into effect on Jan. 1. Municipal Administrator Paul Keating said this year’s budget is somewhat irregular because of the anticipated reimbursements

The municipality plans to pay out roughly $93,000 to employees who worked overtime during tropical storms Irene in August and Lee in September.

Budget of $548,951 does not raise taxes

By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

DORRANCE TWP. – Township supervisors on Monday night unanimously enacted a $548,951 budget for 2012 that does not raise taxes. The plan sustains tax rates of .0064 mills on real estate, a $52 levy on income of more than $12,000 and a half percent wage tax. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property valuation. The budget was passed without comment although the supervisors did take action to reduce the township’s expenses on health insurance. They approved a resolution to have fulltime employees pay 25 percent of premium costs for dental and medical insurance for their spouse and children. The resolution is effective Jan. 1. The supervisors, over the objection of Joseph Chalawick of Blue Ridge Trail, also reinstated a land development plan of J L Market after attorney Kevin Walsh of the Don Karpowich law firm stated that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation had granted a highway occupancy permit to the owner of the

unanimously passed a resolution to support the West Side Landfill Authority’s filing of a state Department of Community and Economic Development grant application to fund a survey of property owned by the authority. The body plans to look to see what other ways the land can be used. Keating said this was not a Kingston grant application, but rather a show of support for the organization of which Kingston is a member. Also on Monday, Yvonne Severns was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Citizens’ Advisory Council.

market, John Schenck. The supervisors in September acted to suspend Schenck’s permit application after it had been determined that PennDOT’s approval was lacking. Because Walsh said the permit is now in place, supervisors Royce Engler, Ben Ostrowski and Gary Zane acted to rescind their previous vote. Engler, chairman, said a state Community Development Block Grant will be sought to pay for the proposed paving of St Mary’s Road. In advance of the application, it was stated residents of St Mary’s Road will be mailed a survey form, which according to Secretary Patricia Davis, will be preliminary to submitting an application for funding. Davis said residents are encouraged to complete the form and return it ASAP. She also said information has been received that the township will receive $1,910 from the Pennsylvania State Police. The money is from fines levied by the police.

Noyes Ave. property drawing complaints

SWOYERSVILLE -- The upkeep and usage of a property located on Noyes Avenue was once again a topic of discussion at the borough council meeting on Monday night. In a statement written by Ronald Semanski and read by his wife, the property in question was described as “intolerable” and “disgraceful.” Semanski’s statement also addressed the probability that the property was the site of a business that had not been approved by the borough’s zoning board. Semanski said there were two trucks regularly present at the property that read “Holiday Hauling,” and gave a phone number. A resident of the street asked, “How could it not be a business if they display a business name and phone number on a vehicle?” Borough Zoning Officer Joseph Ruscavage said he would work with borough Solicitor Joseph Yeager to clarify the procedure for identifying what constituted a “business.” Ruscavage said doing so was difficult and the borough must proceed with caution. When asked about any problems with the property owner, residents were encouraged to simply “dial 911” to resolve the matter. Ruscavage also addressed the council in regard to an amendment clarifying Chapter 90 as it related to storage of vehicles. The

He said that, as of last week, November’s total earned income tax revenues were around $267,000 less in November 2011 than they were in November 2010. He said he now anticipates a $175,000 check will be wired to Kingston from the Don Wilkinson Tax Agency today. There was apparently an accounting delay that held up a payment that Kingston was owed for November, he said. He said he hopes other ways will be found to close out the gap as December continues. In other business, council

which will also be affected by the payouts. Keating also told council that the wage issue will, in all likelihood, lead to an increase in 2013 workman’s compensation insurance, which is calculated on the basis of total yearly salaries paid. Monday’s special budget meeting was held a few weeks later than it typically would have been. Keating said the reason for this was so that he could compile the most accurate numbers possible in comparing next year’s projections to this year’s reality. Keating said he has tightly monitored monthly transactions

amendment, which had its first reading on Monday and will require two subsequent readings, states, “It shall be unlawful to park on private property any motorized vehicle which does not carry a current registered license plate and current state inspection sticker conforming to the state where such vehicle is titled in the Borough of Swoyersville.” Ruscavage and council agreed this amendment would facilitate enforcement by borough police regarding illegal storage of vehicles. In another matter, council President Ronald Alunni indicated that the borough had received more than $300,000 from state gaming proceeds in the past to direct to the police department and would continue to apply for such grants. “We are never guaranteed that we will receive them,” said Alunni, “but we will continue to apply.” In another matter, resident Theresa Snyder said she was concerned about the presence of bulldozers near her home on Slocum Street. Council said the property was being worked on by Pagnotti Enterprises in order to discourage small off-road vehicles from being operated in that area. Council assured Snyder that any trees cut down throughout the project would not land on her property.

Judge blasts court cuts

The proposed 2012 budget presented by Luzerne County Commissioners Stephen A. Urban and Maryanne Petrilla would not comply with a legal requirement to fund the county court system at a level of “reasonable necessity,” county Court of Common Pleas President Judge Thomas Burke said Burke Monday. The proposed budget would cut spending in court branches a combined $4.7 million. “The current proposal would fall woefully short of meeting that legal standard,” Burke said. The president judge said the county court docket is “extremely busy” because Luzerne is a “high litigation county.” The court also oversees costeffective treatment courts and a mortgage foreclosure diversion program, Burke said. The 11 new county council members will have 45 days to amend the budget after they take office Jan. 2.

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County commissioners on Monday voted 3-0 to form a bi-county authority to oversee the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and quelled suspicions about their reasons for doing so. The resolution states the new authority board will have six members – three from Luzerne County and three from Lackawanna County – who will serve four-year terms. The names of those to be appointed will be added to

W H AT ’ S N E X T • Lackawanna County commissioners will vote on creating an airport authority at a 10 a.m. meeting Wednesday in their conference room, sixth floor, County Administration Building, 200 Adams Ave., Scranton. • Luzerne County commissioners will accept applications detailing applicants’ experience for appointment to the authority. Appointments will be made at their 6 p.m. meeting Dec. 14 in their meeting room, first floor of the courthouse, 200 N. River St., Wilkes-Barre.

During public comment prior to the vote, County Councilman-elect Edd Brominski asked commissioners to defer creation of the authority or appointment of its members to the newly created county council that takes office Jan. 2 and that no commissioners or county manager be appointed. Brominski later said he would propose in January that the authority be dissolved and then re-established with council making appointments from the public. County Controller Walter Griffith asked why an authority was being created a month before council takes over, alluding to rumors that at least one commissioner would be appointed to

the resolution after commissioners of both counties choose them later this month. Lackawanna County commissioners will vote on creating an authority on Wednesday. See AIRPORT, Page 12A

PITTSTON TWP. -- A part-time waitress has been arrested on charges she stole nearly $40,000 from a restaurant and continued to steal money after being confronted by the owners last month. Township police allege in arrest records that Meggan Ambrose, 21, of Rutledge Street, Jenkins Township, tried to hide the missing money by stealing customer receipts from Savo’s Restaurant on the Pittston By-Pass, where she was employed for about five years. Ambrose Ambrose is accused of stealing $39,316 from January 2010 to Saturday, when she was allegedly recorded by a surveillance camera that was recently installed. Ambrose was arraigned by District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township Saturday on two counts of theft and a single count of receiving stolen property. She was released after posting $10,000 bail on Sunday. Ambrose could not be reached for comment on Monday. According to the criminal complaint: Restaurant owners on Nov. 9 noticed a receipt handled by Ambrose had been voided. When confronted by the owners, Ambrose stated she voided the payment in place of a credit card. A review of credit card sales did not match the receipt from the customer Ambrose had waited on, the complaint says. Owners checked all Ambrose’s transactions and reviewed video from a surveillance camera that allegedly showed Ambrose taking $1,585 from Nov. 5 to Nov. 13. Police were notified of the alleged thefts on Nov. 18. Ambrose continued to work at Savo’s Restaurant while owners reviewed cash register receipts and balance reports that were handled by Ambrose in 2010 and 2011. Mike Savokinas, a co-owner of the restaurant, told police the two-year review allegedly showed Ambrose stole $8,754 in 2010 and $30,562 in 2011, according to the criminal complaint.

paperwork that needs to be addressed before the trial can begin. A third man scheduled to stand trial in the killing, Tyrek Smith, 25, of Harrisburg, pleaded guilty to a related robbery charge Monday. Smith, who was represented by Royce Morris of Harrisburg, faces a maximum of 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on Feb. 23. The three men were charged in the December 2010 incident in which police

said they are responsible for the shooting death of Abdul Shabazz, 30, of Hazleton, inside a West Hazleton apartment. Police said Izel Garrett fired the .38caliber handgun that left Shabazz dead after a drug deal that went bad. Assistant District Attorney Frank McCabe said during Smith’s guilty plea that Smith was present in an apartment the Garretts’ father lived in when Shabazz came to sell them marijuana. McCabe said Smith led Shabazz into See DELAY, Page 12A

Obama touts tax-cut plan

NEW YORK — Surging in polls, Newt Gingrich declared confidently Monday that he plans to run a general election campaign in all 50 states should he win the Republican presidential nomination. But he also found himself defending comments he had made about poor children — hinting at the potential troubles and new scrutiny he faces in the race. “I do not suggest children until about 14 or15 years of age do heavy, dangerous janitorial work,” Gingrich told reporters, seeking to explain previous remarks that rivals have used to criticize him. “On the other hand, there are a number of things done to clean buildings that are not heavy or dangerous.” At issue is a remark Gingrich made last week in which he suggested that

point had been “distorted” to make him look insensitive. Trying to show sensitivity on the issue, Gingrich also said he had persuaded Donald Trump — the real estate mogul with whom he met privately earlier in the day — to mentor a group of children from New York City’s poorest schools. “I thought it was a great idea,” said Trump. “We’re going to be picking 10 young wonderful children and make them ‘apprenti.’ We’re going to have a little fun with it.” Gingrich’s campaign, meanwhile, debuted a new television ad in Iowa — the first of his campaign. As the day began, Gingrich met privately with Trump, who flirted with a bid for the Republican nomination last spring. But the candidate left without an endorsement.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is working to court Jewish voters leading into the 2012 election, as Republicans seek to chip away at the president’s support in the Jewish community by attacking him over Israel. GOP hopefuls say Obama hasn’t done

enough for Israel and hasn’t been tough enough on the Palestinians. The White House and Obama campaign officials dispute that, and Obama says his administration has done more to help Israel’s security than past U.S. administrations.

out to Republicans who have shown little interest in continuing the $1,000 tax break for working Americans that expires at the end of the year. President Obama pressed the case for the tax break Monday after Republicans revolted against the plan last week. Congress has just a few weeks left to strike a compromise. Republicans are unlikely to embrace this latest proposal, as they say tax breaks for workers do little to stimulate the economy. They also say the tax breaks should be paid for with cuts elsewhere in the budget, rather than relying on a surtax on millionaires.

Sandusky lottery set

A lottery has been established for public seating for former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky’s next court hearing on child sex abuse charges. The Centre County Court of Common Pleas said Monday applications for seating at the Dec. 13 preliminary hearing would be accepted for 24 hours on the county’s webpage starting Wednesday at noon. A random drawing will then be held to assign seats. Those who get seats will be notified Friday. Sandusky is charged with abusing eight boys over a 15-year span in a scandal that has enveloped the school and tarnished the reputation of the popular football program. Sandusky maintains he is innocent of the charges. DAMASCUS, SYRIA

Syria agrees to observers

Syria said Monday it would agree to allow Arab League observers into the country as part of a plan to end almost nine months of bloodshed, but placed a number of conditions, including the cancellation of deeply embarrassing economic sanctions. Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby swiftly rebuffed Damascus’ demands, and the Syrian opposition accused President Bashar Assad’s regime of wasting time and trying to trick Arab leaders into reversing punitive measures against Damascus. Syria has already failed to meet several Arab League ultimatums to end the crackdown which the U.N. says has killed more than 4,000 people since the uprising against Assad erupted in March.

Tensions heat up during Egyptian runoffs The strife shows the challenges facing the front-runner, the Muslim Brotherhood. By BEN HUBBARD and SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press

CAIRO — The runoff Monday for Egypt’s first-round parliamentary elections heated up tensions between competing Islamist groups that have so far dominated the vote, with scuffles breaking out and allegations of death threats. The strife shows the challenges facing the front-runner, the Muslim Brotherhood, after hard-line Islamist parties made a surprisingly strong showing. The more moderate Brotherhood is now under pressure to reassure both Egyptians

and foreign allies that the country is not going down an extremist path and remains committed to democratic transition. The Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest and best organized political group, is in the lead so far, with about 37 percent of the vote, according to partial results released Sunday. But the hard-line Al-Nour bloc grabbed nearly a quarter of the vote for the ultraconservative Salafis, who seek to impose strict Islamic law in Egypt. The strong Islamist showing came at the expense of liberal activist groups that led the uprising against Hosni Mubarak, toppling a regime long seen as a secular bulwark in the Middle East. Nabil Abdel-Fattah, a senior researcher at Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies, said the Islamists are in a “fierce” battle over the same ideological base.”

WASHINGTON — A newly discovered planet is eerily similar to Earth and is sitting outside our solar system in what seems to be the ideal place for life, expect for one hitch. It’s a bit too big. The planet is smack in the middle of what astronomers call the Goldilocks zone, that hard to find place that’s not too hot, not too cold, where water, which is essential for life, doesn’t freeze or boil.

nounced Monday by NASA along with other discoveries by its Kepler telescope, which was launched on a planet-hunting mission in 2009. That’s the first planet confirmed in the habitable zone for Kepler, which had already found Earth-like rocky planets elsewhere. Twice before astronomers have announced a planet found in that zone, but neither have been as promising. “This is a phenomenal discovery in the course of human history,” Geoff Marcy of University of California, Berkeley, one of

the pioneers of planet-hunting outside our solar system, said in an email. “This discovery shows that we Homo sapiens are straining our reach into the universe to find planets that remind us of home. We are almost there.” The new planet — named Kepler-22b — has key aspects it shares with Earth. It circles a star that could be the twin of our sun and at just about the same distance. The planet’s year of 290 days is even close to ours. It likely has water and rock. The only trouble is the planet’s a bit big for life to exist on the surface. The planet is about 2.4 times the size of Earth. It could be more like the gas-andliquid Neptune with only a rocky core and mostly ocean.

“They both have high financial resources. The Brotherhood have experience and social networks,” he said. The Salafis “have no (political) experience, but are relying on a long history ... of concessions” by the Mubarak regime, which “left them to expand as a way to counter the power of the Muslim Brotherhood.” “This is going to be a very conservative Islamic parliament,” he said. “The conflicts will be between that trend and the democratic forces.” The Salafis espouse a strict interpretation of Islam similar to that of Saudi Arabia, where the sexes are segregated and women must be veiled and are barred from driving. They speak openly about their aim of turning Egypt into a state where personal freedoms are constrained by Islamic law.

FAMILY OWNED FULLY INSURED FREE ESTIMATES 735-6150

WASHINGTON — Pediatricians are supposed to track if youngsters are putting on too many pounds — but a new study found less than a quarter of parents of overweight children recall the doctor ever saying there was a problem. Does that mean doctors aren’t screening enough kids, or aren’t frank enough in these tough conversations? Or is the real story parent denial? The research published Monday can’t tell, but makes it clear the message too often isn’t getting through. “It’s tricky to say, and it’s tricky to hear,” says lead researcher Dr. Eliana Perrin of the University of North Carolina. She analyzed government health surveys that included nearly 5,000 parents of overweight children from 1999 to 2008. Parents tend not to realize when a weight problem is creeping up on their children. When almost a third of U.S. children are at least overweight, and about 17 percent are obese, it’s harder to notice that there’s anything unusual about their own families. Plus, children change as they grow older. The new study suggests when parents do recall a doctor noting the problem, it’s been going on for a while. About 30 percent of the parents of overweight 12- to 15-yearolds said a doctor had alerted them, compared with just 12 percent of the parents of overweight preschoolers. Even among the parents of very obese children, only 58 percent recalled a doctor discussing it, says the report published Monday by the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Doctors have long tracked children’s height and weight during yearly checkups, but more recent guidelines urge them to calculate a youngster’s body mass index, or BMI, to screen for developing obesity.

DALLAS BOARD

Wega is tabbed as president By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Three new Dallas School Board members and two re-elected members were sworn in at the board’s annual reorganization meeting Monday night. Board members Fred Parry, Larry Schuler and Colleen Slocum began their first terms, while Bruce Goeringer and Catherine Wega were sworn to another term. The three new board members replace Dennis Gochoel Jr., Russell Bigus and Gary Mathers, who successfully ran for the position of Kingston Township supervisor. Wega was selected as president of the board, a position previously held by Goeringer. Goeringer was elected as vice president. Wega, Parry and board member Karen Kyle will serve representatives on the West Side Career and Technical Center board until 2014. Slocum was selected to serve as assistant secretary and as a member of the Parents Advisory Council, and Goeringer and Schuler will share representation on the Back Mountain Memorial Library Board. At a meeting that immediately followed, Bob Nesbit of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates gave the board an update on the high school construction project.

Jackson Twp. taxes stable, sewer fee up By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

JACKSON TWP. -- Supervisor Al Fox on Monday night said the proposed budget for 2012 does not currently contain any tax increases. The township’s proposed 2012 budget is available for public review in the municipal office. The spending plan will be voted on during a special meeting scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 22. The current millage is 1.32. A mill is $1 tax for every $1,000 in assessed tax value. “No increase, we tried to hold the line,” Fox said. “We have done our preliminary budget showing a surplus; it is all contingent on reimbursement from FEMA, and

they are coming in to take a look at our request.” He said the spending plan is hinged upon what is allowable by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for reimbursement of funds that were spent on cleanup from frequent summer flooding and damage caused by tropical storms Irene and Lee. “We will not know until probably after December, so therefore we will have to make an adjustment, but right now we are OK,” Fox said. The proposed budget does include plans to pave Meadow Crest, Gates Road and Sutton Hills, and a sewer project for Bullford Farms, Fox said. In other business, supervisors

approved a motion to pass the Dallas Area Municipal Authority’s sewer rate increase on to residents. Township Attorney Jeffery Malak said the $20 increase would raise rates to $492 per household. Fox said this is the third increase from DAMA. The first two the township absorbed, he said. Also, supervisors approved a resolution for the Back Mountain Community Partnership to apply for a state gaming grant to build an EMA building to house equipment and vehicles.

Mike Van Etten, president of the Dallas Fire and Ambulance Association, said a metal pole building will be constructed off Route 118, near the Luzerne County Fairgrounds. The facility will give each of the participating municipalities a bay to store equipment and supplies such as cots. The long-term goal is to hold training seminars and classes for emergency personnel. Supervisors will hold a reorganizational meeting at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 3 in the municipal building.

No tax hike planned for Bear Creek Twp. By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent

BEAR CREEK TWP. – The township expects to hold the line on taxes for 2012, according to a proposed budget passed Monday night. The township supervisors unanimously passed the spending plan of just more than $1 million on Monday, noting that the budget includes a 2 percent cost-of-living increase for all non-supervisor employees and an overtime rate of 6.6 percent, but no tax increase. Recycling employees will continue to receive minimum wage. The proposed budget includes plans to buy a new plow truck to replace an existing 1996 model at a projected cost of $150,000. It also includes $4,500 for the township’s share of repairs to a culvert on Old East End Boulevard, the bulk of which will be paid for with a $275,500 state gaming grant. Also included in the budget is $50,000 to tar and chip Weiss Road.

Supervisors and residents discussed the situation with Weiss Road, which is located in Dennison Township but provides the only access to a number of residents of Bear Creek Township. Chairman Gary Zingaretti reminded residents the township is bound by an agreement with Dennison that requires Bear Creek to maintain the road to government-required standards. Zingaretti said the township is considering options and pursuing a grant to properly repair and pave the road, but has budgeted for tarring and chipping to keep the road safe. The budget will be on display for the next 20 days before the supervisors meet on Dec. 27 for public comment and a final vote on the spending plan. In other business, the supervisors approved a reverse subdivision approved by the planning committee that combined the Paskill and Basler properties. They also noted there has been no further action on the Act 537 sewer plan since the Nov. 7 public hearing.

to know the board and the issues better. Elmy said his broad focus is to “provide the maximum education with the least burden to taxpayers.” Quinn said he has a list of priorities, including speaking out against what he contends are flawed state tests “designed to make public schools look bad.” He also said he is concerned about some things that were cut from the district budget and wants to look more closely at the costs and the reasons for the decisions. “They cut junior high sports; I think

Vito DeLuca as solicitor for the district. In regular business, the board voted to adopt a resolution stating that the district will not raise property taxes by more than its state inflation index for 2012-2013 under the state’s Act 1. The inflation index is presently 2.5 percent. The board accepted the resignation of Christina Grendzinski, a teacher who is presently furloughed. It also appointed Andrea Cannavale as junior high soccer coach pending clearances.

that was a big mistake,” Quinn said. Toole cited two specific changes she wants to make sure are tackled this year: Starting the budgeting process earlier, and adopting a hiring policy. The district does not have a written hiring policy, a fact that became public when three board members were nabbed in the sweeping federal corruption probe in the past several years. Two of them pleaded guilty to charges related to money paid to board members from candidates seeking teaching jobs. The board moved to adopt a new hiring policy and held two public meetings seeking input, but Toole noted it has been two years and there is still no policy.

Kids left in cars at casino bills advance The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Two bills aimed at the problem of children left unattended in gambling casino parking lots are on their way to the state Senate after the House overwhelmingly approved both measures Monday. One bill would make it a misdemeanor to leave children younger than 14 in vehicles parked on casino property and double the potential fines imposed on casinos if they fail to report such incidents to police and social service agencies. The other bill would require casinos to post signs warning patrons not to leave unattended children on casino property. Such incidents have been reported at several casinos. The Parx Casino, located next to the Philadelphia Park racetrack in Bensalem, stepped up patrols and added security cameras in its parking lot after nine incidents of unattended children were reported last year. Advocates for local prosecutors and police organizations support the bills, while several casinos oppose them. The casinos say the first bill unfairly subjects them to a different standard than other businesses and could hamper their ability to obtain or renew their licenses in other states, and the second bill is unnecessary because the gaming board already has authority to require them to post signs.

Editorial

OUR OPINION: UNITED WAY

Set right tone for fundraising

VERYONE IN the Wyoming Valley benefits by having a strong United Way here, which is why the group should reassess its tactics and policies early in 2012. Incoming CEO Bill Jones, a Mountain Top resident already familiar with this area’s social services network and its needs, begins his job on Jan. 2, according to an announcement Thursday. Jones formerly served with the Volunteers of America’s charitable arm in WilkesBarre, overseeing programs to help homeless young adults, the elderly and other underserved or at-risk populations. In his new role, he’ll orchestrate fundraising and related activities for a United Way that in recent years has collected more than $4 million annually to support nearly 50 programs run by more than 25 local agencies. Those nonprofit agencies range from the Boy Scouts of America to the Victims Resource Center. We believe Jones and the United Way of Wyoming Valley’s board will be most successful if they adopt the following strategies: • Be open. Board chairman Bobby Soper declined this year to explain, even in the most generic terms, why the organization’s former chief executive officer abruptly left. David Lee’s sudden retirement was made public in late May. More recently, Soper de-

clined even to divulge how much Jones will be paid. It is ridiculous to appeal to the public for money and then evade questions about administrative matters, especially compensation. By law, those figures eventually are made public. Lee’s pay in 2010, for example, was about $125,000, plus $33,644 in other compensation, according to federal Form 990. Don’t run from numbers. Justify them. • Be visible. Too many people’s primary involvement with – and understanding of – the United Way is based on once-yearly, hurried conversations with a co-worker who begs, or badgers, for donations. The organization needs to discover ways to connect with wider audiences, letting area residents know about how its funding decisions are made and monitored, and how success is measured. Keep people better informed of community volunteer opportunities, too. • Be bold. Raise more, reach more, do more. United, this community can achieve great things. Lead the way.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “It was risky, but we all wanted to do it.” Thomas Griffin The 96-year-old Cincinnati resident recently reflected on his involvement in “Doolittle’s Raid” – the United States’ bold aerial strike on Japan’s home islands four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Griffin was a navigator during the bombing raid nearly 70 years ago.

OTHER OPINION: LAWMAKER PAY

GOP should end automatic raises

ERE’S A CHANCE for state Republicans – who rolled into power almost a year ago after winning control of the House, Senate and governor’s office – to make good on their promises of government reform, accountability and shared sacrifice. And they can do it all in one fell swoop: Repeal Act 51of1995. The law provides for an automatic cost-of-living raise every year for state lawmakers, judges and the governor. No debate. No vote. Lawmakers literally don’t have to do a thing to pocket the money. In fact, the way the law is written they can’t refuse the pay hike. Every year, some lawmakers say they’re returning the salary increases to the state or giving them to charity. Of course, even if they “pass it on,” the raises still count toward larger pensions. This year’s 3 percent raise kicked in last week, bumping the rankEDITORIAL BOARD

and-file’s salary from $79,623 to $82,026. State Reps. Eugene DePasquale, Seth Grove and Scott Perry want to change the system. DePasquale thinks lawmakers should at least be forced to vote on the raises. Grove wants to lock in a lawmaker’s salary for the duration of his or her term. Perry suggests changing the law so the raises would be suspended if the state doesn’t meet revenue projections in a particular year. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear many of their colleagues share their views. State Rep. Stan Saylor, the House Majority Whip, says if voters don’t like the system, it’s up to them to change it. “The accountability has to come from the people who elect” lawmakers, he said. Silly us. We thought accountability came with the job. The York Dispatch

Lawmaker stands behind Obama’s message during visit ON WEDNESDAY I had the deep honor and pleasure of meeting President Obama during his visit to Scranton. Contrary to the representations made in the Dec. 3 commentary by Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, tickets to see the president were gone in no time and they were too few to meet demand at the Scranton High School. It was standing room only when the president entered the venue. The president came to Scranton – his vice president’s boyhood home – with a message that resonated deeply with the people of this city and indeed with families throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. He came to talk about jobs and economic growth. The president has had jobs and the economy on the top of his agenda since the day he took office three years ago. My commentary would be incomplete if I failed to remind that our nation was losing more than 700,000 jobs per month on the day the president took office. The president’s policies stopped the economic free-fall occurring in the wake of the George W. Bush presidency and, as a result, we have seen the economy add privatesector jobs for 21 consecutive months. The American Jobs Act recently advanced by the president and his administration contains elements of bipartisan origin. Some of the programs contained in this important proposal have not only been supported by the Republican Party, but also have been sponsored by Republican members of Congress. Further, more than two-thirds of the American people support this legislation. The unwillingness of the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate to debate it or vote on it shows, as

STATE SEN. JOHN BLAKE the president aptly pointed out in Scranton last week, that some people in Congress are willing to put the priorities of their party above the good of the country as a whole. For Mr. Priebus to accuse the president of being hyper-partisan is not only disingenuous it is downright false. Recall the efforts of this president to negotiate balanced public policy with Republican leadership in Washington. His posture in these negotiations had served to frustrate even his own Democratic base. But now, as evidenced in his remarks in Scranton, he has concluded, there is no “R” in compromise. The president is to be commended for advancing smart, balanced public policies that will grow our economy and strengthen key community, business, transportation and educational assets for the next generation while remaining focused on reducing the federal deficit. His plan to extend and enhance the payroll tax cut approved under his signature last December is but one of those smart policies. It would provide essential tax relief to more than 230,000 firms in Pennsylvania and provide average households in Scranton with nearly $1,500 in additional spending power. Republicans in the U.S. Senate voted down this measure last week, effectively assuring that working-class Americans will get a tax increase. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region has the unfortunate distinction of having the highest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania. It is higher than the state average and higher than

COMMENTARY

the national average. But quoting unemployment statistics does not impart the real pain that individuals and families are feeling. There are highly educated, highly skilled, highly credentialed and highly motivated and productive people still struggling to find work. The president has been working mightily to improve their prospects for a better future. As the president noted at Scranton High School, our region’s story is a story of resilience. Early in the 19th century we provided a third of the iron rails supporting the expansion of the U.S. economy; with anthracite coal we provided the fuel for the Industrial Revolution; as the Electric City we demonstrated the power of entrepreneurship and deployed the first electric trolley car system in the nation. We are the cradle of the labor movement in America – a movement that served to create and strengthen the middle class. When we witnessed the collapse of core industries and when deep economic recession set us back we re-made ourselves and rebounded stronger – often with the assistance of capable, bipartisan leadership at all levels of government. When President Obama spoke to us he spoke the language of this proud, hardworking community when he said, “Scranton, just like you don’t quit, I don’t quit.” It is an inspirational message to a resilient people who know the president is fighting for them – the teachers, firefighters, veterans, college graduates, senior citizens, small-business owners and working-class families of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

ecently, my girlfriend and I ventured to the state store next to Walmart in Wilkes-Barre Township. My girlfriend recently turned 21, so she was looking forward to making her first alcohol purchase. After we selected our individual purchases, we went to the same register. The clerk asked for her identification, and she happily provided it. The clerk quickly tossed the ID back and said, “We can’t take this.” When questioned, she said the ID was expired. I examined the ID and noticed that it did, indeed, expire the day before. To quickly rectify the problem, I took her purchase, combined it with mine and offered to make the purchase with my valid ID. They lambasted my idea; three clerks said, “No, you can’t do that because we know it is for her!” Well, no kidding. I also was disallowed from buying the

products that I was holding independent of her purchase. I understand there might be legislation and they are trying to avoid any misdoing, but this is absurd. The identification, although expired, did verify her to be of legal drinking age. This is not parallel to an underage person being in the store with me and me being refused on the grounds that I might supply the liquor to a minor. This protocol is so backward that, to circumvent, all I needed to do was go to another store and go in by myself. I’m very disappointed in the customer

President Palin? It’s not an impossibility in 2012

et’s say a powerful third-party candidate surfaces in the 2012 presidential race. It’s my understanding that if none of the three candidates garners a majority – 270, I believe, of the electoral votes – the president would be picked by the House of Representatives. Who would be the powerful third-party candidate? Answer: A perfect setup for Sarah Palin to run as an independent. Whom would the Republican House pick? Obama, “Rino” Romney or Sarah?

solidation of the Scranton facility into operations at the Lehigh Valley center, affecting the 300 employees at the Scranton operation. Plans unveiled Monday technically must await an advisory opinion from the independent Postal Regulatory Commission, slated for next March. But that opinion is nonbinding, and only substantial pressure from Congress, businesses or the public might deter far-reaching cuts. Many postal customers will be upset. “Well I’m not happy about them, but what else can you do with this economy? If they’re getting ready to go bankrupt, it’s better to cut back than to go totally bankrupt,” said Deborah Butler of Brandywine, Md., who was at a Washington, D.C., post office. “You still need them. Because everybody can’t afford the other ones, like express mail and things like that. Even though the world is computer literate, everybody doesn’t have computers.” At a news briefing in Washington, postal vice president David Williams said the post office needs to move quickly to cut costs as it seeks to stem five years of red ink amid steadily declining mail volume. The agency already has announced a 1-cent increase in first-class mail to 45 cents beginning Jan. 22. Williams said that in certain narrow situations first-class mail might still be delivered the next day — if, for example, newspapers, magazines or other bulk mailers are able to meet new, tighter deadlines and drop off shipments directly at the processing centers that remain open. But in the vast majority of

it and receive compensation. Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said an airport authority is a good idea because, for one thing, the authority could borrow money on its own and wouldn’t need to turn to the county general fund and tax revenue for support. Griffith said he also thought the authority was a good idea, “if the motivation is correct.” Urban said he thinks the motivation is correct and that Griffith might not appreciate it because he hasn’t “been in the trenches as long as I have. You’re highly critical of everything I do.” Griffith shot back that he is not, but he wanted to know

cases, everyday users of firstclass mail will see delays. The changes could slow everything from check payments to Netflix’s DVDs-by-mail, add costs to mailorder prescription drugs and even threaten the existence of newspapers and time-sensitive magazines delivered by postal carrier to far-flung suburban and rural communities. The Postal Service faces imminent default — this month — on a $5.5 billion annual payment to the Treasury for retiree health benefits and expects to have a record loss of $14.1 billion next year. “Are we writing off first class mail? No,” Williams said. “Customers are making their choices, and what we are doing is responding to the current market conditions and placing the Postal Service on a path to allow us to respond to future changes. We have to do what’s in our control to put the Postal Service on sold financial ground.” The cuts would close 252 of the nation’s 461 mail processing centers beginning next spring. They would result in the elimination of roughly 28,000 jobs. The number of employees varies by processing facility but generally ranges from about 50 to 2,000. Cincinnati, Boston and New Orleans are home to some of the largest centers. Because the consolidations typically would lengthen the distance mail travels from post office to processing center, the agency also would lower delivery standards. Currently, first-class mail is supposed to be delivered to homes and businesses within the continental U.S. in one to three days. That would lengthen to two to three days, meaning mailers no longer could expect next-day delivery in surrounding communities. Periodicals could take two to nine days. who would be appointed and if they would be paid. He said state law allows for compensation. Neil O’Donnell, county solicitor to the airport board, said there was no compensation provision in the resolution. Urban said it has been a county policy not to compensate authority boards. Commissioner Chairperson Maryanne Petrilla said she has been a longtime advocate of regionalization. “We could never get it done because individual municipalities do not want to give up their power. We have a majority of commissioners in Luzerne, a majority of commissioners in Lackawanna who see the benefit of doing this and we finally have the votes.” Commissioner Tom Cooney said there are now five votes needed from commissioners to

roll said her research showed the court order had been issued and the Luzerne County Adult Probation Department had filed the restitution order with the state. Ordinarily, Musto Carroll said, the victim would receive restitution before money starts going to the compensation fund – though a victim cannot receive money for the same restitution twice. That could happen if the compensation fund pays for something that should have been covered by a restitution order, and the defendant then pays restitution to the victim rather than to the compensation fund. In this case, Musto Carroll said, Krommes should have received her compensation because it was not related to the medical bills covered by the state compensation fund. The money went to the compensation fund first because a county probation worker apparently erred by listing the fund, not Krommes, as recipient for the restitution. The state is working to fix the problem, Musto Carroll said, “but it’s not as simple as backing it out of the system and paying her.” As officials work through the red tape, Krommes continues to wait for what she concedes is a small sum in light of all she suffered. At this point, she said, $601 won’t make much of a difference. But the money is secondary. Getting the system to fix the error – and to avoid similar problems in the future – matters more, she said.

Mail carrier Zack Wyscarver delivers mail in freezing temperatures Monday in Omaha, Neb.

About 42 percent of first-class mail is now delivered the following day. An additional 27 percent arrives in two days, about 31 percent in three days and less than 1 percent in four to five days. Following the change next spring, about 51 percent of all first-class mail is expected to arrive in two days, with most of the remainder delivered in three days. The Postal Service initially announced in September it was studying the possibility of closing the processing centers and published a notice in the Federal Register seeking comments. Within 30 days, the plan elicited nearly 4,400 public comments, mostly in opposition. Catalogue companies worry they won’t be able to predict when their catalogues will arrive and therefore when to add staff to handle increased call volumes. Small business owners say sluggish first-class mail will slow their businesses because merchandise and payments will spend more time in transit. Separate bills that have passed House and Senate committees would give the Postal Service more authority and liquidity to

stave off immediate bankruptcy. But prospects are somewhat dim for final congressional action on those bills anytime soon, especially if the measures are seen in an election year as promoting layoffs and cuts to neighborhood post offices. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has been pushing for congressional changes that would give the agency more authority to reduce delivery to five days a week, raise stamp prices and reduce health care and other labor costs. But the agency also opposes current provisions in the House and Senate measures that would require additional layers of review before it could close post offices and processing centers. The Postal Service, an independent agency of government, does not receive tax money, but is subject to congressional control on major aspects of its operations. The changes in first-class mail delivery could go into place without permission from Congress. Gerard Hetman, a Times Leader correspondent, contributed to this report.

create an airport authority. Petrilla, Urban and Cooney all said they would not be members. Griffith also had noted that O’Donnell earlier this year said he was not in favor of the switch to an authority because it would conflict with the county’s new Home Rule Charter. O’Donnell said that was true, but that Petrilla also made a good point that there were now enough votes among commis-

sioners of both counties to finally create an authority. He said the charter could be amended. Don Sanderson, of Bear Creek Village, pointed to the 17member Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority, which he said was good because airport operations are complex and the Lehigh-Northampton authority would form committees to study various aspects. “I don’t think you could do that with six members,” he said.

Several courthouse sources said Pedri and Ferentino did not receive letters of continued employment from Salavantis, raising fears of a break-up of the Selenski prosecution team. Pedri, Ferentino and Melnick would not comment on Monday, citing the court-imposed gag order. Salavantis on Friday announced her transition team, which includes attorney Joseph Giovannini, who was the lead prosecutor against Selenski from June 2003 until he resigned from the District Attorney’s Office in 2004. At the time of his resignation, Giovannini said the heavy workload of the high-profile case was taking a toll on his private practice.

pert opinion on what work should be completed with the limited funds allocated for the project. About $3.09 million was spent on demolition and environmental abatement, primarily the 2006 removal of a 14-story high-rise and connector building at the rear of the original 113-year-old structure, according to a review of checks and invoices. Another $1.5 million was spent to acquire two adjacent lots to make the parcel larger. Consulting services ate up the third largest portion of the expenses -- $540,267. Lincoln Property Co., Philadelphia, received $520,100. CityVest hired the national real estate company in September 2003 to market the building to developers and assess options for the site. Lincoln Property had previously completed a downtown market study for the Diamond City Partnership and assisted the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry with some projects. Another $288,331was spent on architects, with the biggest share – $164,644 – going to Cope Linder Architects, Philadelphia, records show.

the home, and the Garrett brothers presented Shabazz with counterfeit money. Izel fired a handgun, Smith told investigators, and Shabazz fled and Smith followed. McCabe said Smith only played a part in the actual robbery and had nothing to do with setting up the robbery. Because of Smith’s “past and continued cooperation” in the case, McCabe said, all other charges -- including criminal homicide and two counts of criminal conspiracy – would be withdrawn. McCabe said that as part of Smith’s plea agreement, he must testify truthfully at the Garrett brothers’ trial. If he refuses, McCabe said, the agreement will become void. Brian Corcoran and Allyson Kacmarski, attorneys for Izel Garrett, had filed a motion to suppress certain evidence that Polachek Gartley said she hadn’t received until last week. Polachek Gartley said she also did not receive supporting court papers and no response by prosecutors. The judge said she was “dismayed” and “aggravated” that the trial was scheduled to begin and she had to delay it. “This trial will be done,” Polachek Gartley said, citing it was

trict Attorney’s Office,” Giovannini said, adding he has not been offered a position when Salavantis becomes district attorney next month. Giovannini worked under former district attorneys Patrick Toole, Robert Gillespie and Chester Muroski, Salavantis said in a press release. Selenski was acquitted by a Luzerne County jury in March 2006 in the shotgun killings of Frank James, 29, and Adeiye Keiler, 22, in May 2003. He was found guilty of abusing their corpses by burning the bodies in a pit outside his then Kingston Township house on Mount Olivet Road. After that jury verdict, Selenski was charged with the strangulation deaths of Kerkowski and Fassett, whose bodies were found in a shallow grave outside the Mount Olivet Road house on June 5, 2003. Investigators allege Selenski and Paul Weakley, 42, killed Kerkowski and Fassett on May 3, 2002, for money. A day after the killings, Selenski allegedly deposited more than $10,000 into the bank account of his then-girlfriend, Christina Strom, to cover the closing cost to the Mount Olivet Road property she had purchased on April 30, 2002, according to arrest and court records. Weakley is serving a life prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the deaths of Kerkowski and Fassett. spent to compensate taxing bodies for a portion of the back taxes that had been owed on the property before CityVest acquired it. County officials stress that CityVest is still technically on the hook for the $6 million because the loan was not forgiven. CityVest asked the county to take control of the project in April, saying it was out of funds. Wilkes-Barre recently condemned the structure and blocked traffic lanes around the perimeter. Commissioners voted last month to allocate $1 million in federal community development funding to demolish the structure. The building was not expected to be knocked down until next year because a demolition plan must be developed before a contractor is hired, county officials have said. Griffith said he believes federal officials should conduct an independent evaluation of the structure to determine if it is in danger of falling down. He said the federal government should be involved because the community development funding involved in the project originated from the federal government. Griffith said he supplied the federal agent with copies of signed letters from taxpayers who had expressed concerns about the project. CityVest representatives could not be reached for comment Monday. her intention to complete the case in a timely fashion. The judge said that to protect the rights of all involved, she would hold a hearing Friday to rule on any requests, and the trial would begin with jury selection on Dec. 12. Polachek Gartley on Monday denied two suppression requests of Isiah Garrett, who is represented by attorney Robert Mozenter of Philadelphia. Mozenter had previously argued that statements his client made to investigators and evidence seized from his Mechanicsburg home should be thrown out. The Garrett brothers trial is scheduled to begin the same day as two men charged in another Hazleton homicide. Angel Sanchez, 20, and Rodolfo Hiraldo Perez, 25, both of Hazleton, are charged in the Jan. 16 death of 21-year-old Vladimir Ruiz. According to court papers, Sanchez and Perez were charged with stabbing Ruiz after two different fights. Police said one fight on Jan. 15 ended in Sanchez getting the better of Ruiz. The men were charged with disorderly conduct. They then allegedly were going to settle the dispute with a handshake or a fair fight without weapons. The men met on Jan. 16, and a fight erupted outside of Penn Palace, a tavern on North Wyoming and Green streets in Hazleton, leaving Ruiz dead.

The Final Five PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

A basketball program left in good hands

Eugene Lewis, a football and basketball star, is rumored to be moving due to father’s job.

By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

Wyoming Valley West two-sport standout Eugene Lewis is apparently moving across the river and transferring to Meyers High School. Several sources confirmed that Lewis’ father, Eugene Sr., was at Meyers High School on Monday inquiring about residency and enrolling him in the Wilkes-Barre School District. The same Lewis sources said Lewis Sr., who is a minister, was transferred to a church near Meyers recently. Neither Lewis nor Lewis Sr. could be reached for comment. Lewis verbally committed to Penn State in August to play football. He has reaffirmed that commitment recently despite the uncertainty surrounding Penn State’s football program. However, Lewis is also a standout on the basketball court and led Division I of the Wyoming Valley Conference in scoring last season. The apparent move caught Valley West basketball coach George Reimiller off guard. Valley West and Meyers scrimmaged Monday, and Lewis participated. “I didn’t hear anything from him or his father or the school,” Reimiller said. “I heard hearsay, I heard rumors, but it’s nothing I know about.” Reimiller, though, did say that Lewis Sr., who is an assistant basketball coach, told another assistant Monday was his last day of coaching. “I go over there for a scrimmage (Monday) and Eugene played for Valley West,” Meyers coach Pat Toole said. “But the father is telling our people he’s coming to Meyers.” A transfer for a high-profile athlete like Lewis isn’t as simple as moving to another school district and enrolling. Meyers Athletic Director Mike Namey said the first step is a parent initiating the enrollment to another school. Once See LEWIS, Page 3B

It’s a deep field for Heisman finalists By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

NEW YORK — Andrew Luck entered the season as the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. The Stanford quarterback will head to New York for the presentation of college football’s most famous player of the year award having relinquished that status. Luck, along with Robert Griffin III, Trent Richardson, Tyrann Mathieu and Montee Ball are the Heisman finalists. The group, announced Monday on ESPN, will be in New York for the presentation Saturday night. It’s a return trip for Luck, the only repeat finalist this season, while the other QB on the list, Griffin, is the first Baylor player to get an invite to the ceremony.

cent Jackson and Malcom Floyd for long scores — before sitting out the final few minutes. He finished with a 146.1 QB rating, his highest of the season. The Chargers scored on five of their first six drives, then sent most of the home crowd scrambling for the exits with Ryan Mathews’ 31-yard TD run in the fourth.

e is a former manager with J.C. Penney, a job that brought him to Northeastern Pennsylvania more than a decade ago. But Doug Miller doesn’t really have to sell his basketball expertise to the kids at Dallas High School. Most of them are already sold on the idea Miller has the right stuff. “First day I came in, I knew 17 of the 20 kids,” Miller said. “It’s certainly a new position, but I’m really very familiar with all of the kids.” He got to know most of them while spending the past 14 years as the director of the Rock Recreation Center in the Back Mountain, coaching an AAU team during the summer. Miller was also an assistant coach for the girls team at Pittston Area the past two seasons, after spending time as junior varsity coach and varsity assistant at Holy Redeemer. Maybe the summers he spent guiding players from across the Back Mountain swayed the Dallas School Board to hire Miller less than two weeks ago as the Mountaineers boys coach, after Teddy Jackson Jr. recently resigned. Or maybe it was Miller’s availability, and willingness to take the job on short notice. But whatever the reason, Miller plans to make the most of a head coaching opportunity he’s long sought. “I’m trying to build a program for a long time,” Miller said. That means trying to build basketball success at a football school. The Dallas roster this season, like most seasons, includes a collection of players fresh off making a run into the high school football playoffs. Someday soon, Miller would like to change that. “I don’t think there’s been a year -’round focus on basketball (at Dallas),” Miller said. “There are certainly some kids there who will play year-’round. We have to capitalize on that.” That’s not to say football players won’t be welcome on the roster. “We’re happy to have them,” Miller said. “We’re just trying to get them into basketball shape right now.” With Miller taking the reigns, the Dallas program will surely be in good shape. He was a star point guard at Waynesboro High School in the 1980s, leading his team to Blue Mountain League championships with records of 24-2 in 1985-86 and 20-6 in 1986-87 – when Miller was chosen as the league’s defensive player of the year. So naturally, he wants his teams to win with defense. “I’m looking to put my own system in,” Miller said. “We’re going to look to be aggressive on defense. And get out and run.” He will hit the ground running, because Miller will be on the job just two weeks when the Mountaineers open their 2011-12 season at Nanticoke Area on Saturday. That won’t stop him from trying to open his first high school head coaching job with a slam-dunk. “We want to be able to compete for the division,” Miller said. “We’re looking to have a team that competes for the league championship on a year-in, year-out basis.” Compete? If the Mountaineers take the lead from their new coach, they promise to be instant winners. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Marlins become big-time players By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — Jeffrey Loria watched the news conference from the second row, beaming like a proud parent as Heath Bell talked about his new love for the Miami Marlins and reuniting with Jose Reyes. Trying to make a quick getaway, the owner was surrounded by reporters in the corridor who wanted to know who else would be migrating to South Florida: Albert Pujols, C.J. Wilson, Mark Buehrle? Instead of trading away their stars, the Marlins have become the biggest player in the offseason market, the riches from their new ballpark a free-agent attraction. “I want our team to be important,” Loria said Monday as the winter meetings opened. “It’s an energy city, and I think that’s one of the things that brings the players there. They see the energy.” Bell’s $27 million, three-year contract was finalized, giving the renamed Marlins an All-Star closer. Reyes’ $106 million, sixyear deal is a satisfactory physical from conclusion. Pujols, who already has toured the new ballpark, would join Hanley Ramirez, Mike Stanton and Logan Morrison in the batting order — if the three-time NL MVP is willing to leave the St. Louis Cardinals, the only major league team he’s played for. “One big hitter?” Loria said out loud, his 2003 World Series ring flashing from his hand. “Well, I don’t know about that, but there’s a possibility of another player or two we’re looking at.” Morrison, among others, was wondering. “Just out of surgery. Everything went well,” he wrote on Twitter after a minor knee operation, adding: “Have we signed Pujols yet??” On the mound, Wilson or Buehrle could be added to a rotation that includes Josh Johnson (if healthy), Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez and Chris Volstad. While the Marlins are being aggressive, traditional big spenders such as the New York Yan-

If Valley West decides it was for athletic reasons, Lewis would be able to practice with the Meyers basketball team but not play in games. Any disputes on a transfer considered for athletic reasons could be appealed at a hearing with the District 2 Athletic Committee, the local extension of the PIAA, and the PIAA Board of Directors if necessary. Lewis is expected to miss about 10 days of the basketball season when he participates in an out-of-state football all-star game.

kees and Boston Red Sox are moving cautiously, both with free agents and in the trade market. Reyes “It’s hey, take my older, expensive, over-the-hill guy for your young, betterperforming guy,” Yankees general manBell ager Brian Cashman said. “Let me think about that and get back to you, buddy.” Not that he’s acting any differently with opening day four months away. “I’m sure my ideas are as distasteful as the ones that I’ve received,” he said. As the four-day swap session began, the first piece of formal business was the annual meeting of the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee, which elected late Chicago Cubs third baseman Ron Santo. He’ll be inducted in Cooperstown on July 22, along with any players elected by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Jan. 9. Pujols and Prince Fielder are the big bats on the market, and it remains unclear whether Pujols is willing to leave the World Series champions, where he’s joined Stan Musial as a franchise icon. “I always use the word hopeful,” Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said. “I think it’s presumptive to say that I’m optimistic because we obviously have continuing discussions and have a good dialogue going.” No longer watching players like Josh Beckett and Miguel Cabrera getting hooked by other teams, the Marlins now have the bait to attract baseball’s best. They drew a major league-low 1.52 million fans to Sun Life Stadium, also home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, last season. But Loria expects his team will draw 2.5 million to 3 million at the new ballpark.

Ex-Cub Ron Santo elected to Hall by veterans panel

By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

DALLAS — Ron Santo always kept rooting for the causes dearest to him — for his Chicago Cubs to win the World Series, for doctors to find a cure for diabetes and for him to reach the Hall of Fame. On Monday, Cooperstown finally came calling. The barrel-chested third baseman who clicked his heels in victory was elected to the Hall, overwhelmingly chosen by the Veterans Committee nearly a year to the day after he died hoping for this very honor. “It’s really exciting because so many years that we had parties over to his house in spring training saying this is the year, I’d tell him this is the year you’re going in,” said Hall of Fame teammate Billy Williams, a member of the voting panel. “The one thing, of course, is he’s not here to enjoy it, but his family will. He long awaited this, and we’re all happy. I know I’m happy, his family is happy, the fans of Chicago are happy,” he said. Santo was a nine-time All-

Star, hit 342 home runs and won five Gold Gloves. He was a Cubs broadcaster for two decades, beloved by the home crowd for the way he eagerly cheered for his favorite team on the air, hollering “Yes! Yes!” or “All right!” after good plays and groaning “Oh, no!” or “It’s bad” when things went wrong. Shortly after the announcement, Santo’s flag — white with blue pinstripes, plus his name and No. 10 — was flying from the center pole atop the scoreboard at Wrigley Field. “There was always kind of a missing piece of the puzzle of Cubs’ history,” team owner Tom Ricketts said. Santo breezed in with 15 votes from the 16-member panel that met at baseball’s winter meetings. It took 75 percent — 12 votes — to get chosen. “I’ve got tears in my eyes writing this: congrats to the Santo family on Ron’s election to MLB Hall of Fame. A good day to be a Cub fan,” tweeted Chicago-area rocker Billy Corgan, frontman for the Smashing Pumpkins. Santo died Dec. 3, 2010, from complications of bladder cancer at age 70.

AHL

Wild taking advantage of ice time By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

After the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins wrapped up their morning skate last Tuesday before facing the Norfolk Admirals that night, defenseman Cody Wild wasn’t going to be penciled into the lineup. That changed when the pregame skate rolled around later that day after blueliners Robert Bortuzzo and Alexandre Picard were called up to Pittsburgh. In an instant, Wild went from being a healthy scratch for the 11th time this season to manning the blueline against East Division rival Norfolk. “It’s my fifth year (in the AHL), so now I’m used to doing it,” Wild said. “I just had to get checked in mentally.” Wild finished the night registering his first point of the season – an assist, and has played in each of the two games since as the Penguins blueline remains thin due to call-ups to Pittsburgh. Picard was sent back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the weekend, Pittsburgh summoned him again on Monday. With Bortuzzo and Simon Despres still with the NHL club, Wild is one of several Wilkes-Barre/Scranton defenseman facing an increase in ice time. It’s a prospect that Wild welcomes. “It’s a chance to step up and earn a role on this team,” he

Penguin notes • The Penguins practiced with six defensemen on Monday, and head coach John Hynes said the team could call up another blueliner from Wheeling or dress veteran Boris Valabik if Pittsburgh doesn’t send anyone down before Wednesday’s game in Binghamton. Valabik has yet to play this season due to an injury, and if he isn’t ready to go on Wednesday a Wheeling call-up is a possibility, but Hynes said a decision hasn’t been made either way. • Wheeling Nailers head coach Stan Drulia resigned on Monday to take an assistant coach position in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admirals. During his time with the Nailers, Drulia posted a 49-35-0-5 record, which includes an 11-6-0-0 start this season. “Stan was exceptional in Wheeling,” Hynes said. “He created a great environment down there and a good relationship with our coaching staff. The opportunity is well deserved.” •Clark Donatelli, who served as Drulia’s assistant, was named Wheeling’s interim coach. “Clark knows what we want. He’s a very passionate guy and players will enjoy playing for him,” Hynes said. “He’ll continue on with what Stan started.” • Despite losing seven of their last 10 games and dropping into a three-way tie for first place in the East Division, Hynes isn’t hitting the panic button. He said the Penguins’ effort in Friday’s 4-1 win over Portland was “exceptional” while Saturday’s 5-2 loss in Syracuse lacked consistency. “We’re about 25 games in and we’ve had a lot of roster changes,” he said. “I like the way we’ve been able to get through some adversity. We’ve hung around. We haven’t been knocked out.”

said. “When you know you’re going to be playing every night, you get into a rhythm and find your game.” Wild, who has 148 AHL games to his credit, knows that consistent ice time can be hard to come by. As a result, Wild is aware of how important it is to be prepared to step in at a moment’s notice – like he did last week in Norfolk. “My first couple years in the league it was a tough thing to get used to,” Wild said of not playing every night. “It drains on you. “But you have to prepare each day as if you’re playing. I

know I have to be ready. If you’re not, then it’s ‘see you later.’” Wild has played in 14 of the Penguins 24 games this season and acquitted himself well. He has a plus-4 rating and has only been a minus twice. In his AHL career, Wild is a plus-14 – a number he puts a lot of stock in. “I take pride in my plus-minus,” Wild said. “But you can never be happy with how you’re playing. You always think you can do better and you always have to believe that you can bring more to the table.”

Katie Snee is one of the steadiest performers on the La Salle women’s swim team. Snee (Coughlin) has been finishing in the top three in just about every event she’s competed in with the Explorers thus far. She recently finished third in the 100 freestyle (52:37) in the Bucknell Invitational. Last season, she was a member of the 200 and 400 free relay teams that set school records and finished second and third, respectively, in the Atlantic-10 Championships. “Katie has had a great first semester,” coach Matt Nunnally said. “She has been increasing her daily workload and improving her overall fitness level.” And the results of this have shown in the pool. “Katie has been a solid performer in the 50 and 100 free and the 100 backstroke along with numerous relays. She is someone that we as coaches are confident will continue to improve due to her daily approach of working hard and getting the most of out every practice.” The highlight of the season will be the A-10 Championships Feb. 22-25 in Buffalo. The women’s team finished tied for fourth last season. “I look for Katie to be a cornerstone of our A-10 team,” Nunnally said. GOOD START FOR O’HARA – Junior Jake O’Hara (Crestwood) has a 7-3 record at 157 pounds for the Columbia wrestling team. He finished fifth (a 4-1 record) at the Body Bar Systems Invitational recently in Ithaca, N.Y. “Jake had a great summer of training here in New York and has made a big jump physically as well as on the mat,” coach Carl Fronhofer said. “As of now, he is the projected starter at 157 pounds and is certainly a guy I expect a lot out of all season long.” O’Hara was 9-9 at 141 pounds and 2-3 at 151 as a freshman and was 12-17 overall and 3-2 in the Ivy League at 157 as a sophomore. The Lions return to the mat Thursday, Dec. 29 for the Mat Town USA Invitational in Lock Haven. BYORICK FINDS THE RANGE – Senior Aly Byorick (Nanticoke Area) got off to a slow start but she is the 3-point threat for the Lehigh women’s basketball team. Byorick hit just one of her first 16 3-point attempts but was four-for-10 in a 15-point performance in a 64-48 victory over St. Peter’s and has hit nine of her last 36 attempts. The 6-foot guard is averaging 6.0 points with 16 rebounds, six steals and five assists for the 3-6 Mountain Hawks. “Aly provides us with a 3point threat,” coach Sue Troyan said. “We expect her to provide scoring for our team and stretch a defense to open up play for our post players inside.” Byorick played at Xavier as a freshman before transferring to Lehigh. She had to sit out a year and then missed a year with an injury. Last season she led the team with 48 3-pointers. “Aly has the talent and skill to be one of the strongest shooters in our league,” Troyan said. “She has been challenged with many obstacles throughout her career but has garnered a high level of respect from her teammates for both her play and the leadership she provides as a senior co-captain.” SEMENZA’S CONSISTENT – Junior Paige Semenza of Pittston (North American Hockey Academy) is in her third season playing with the Ohio State women’s hockey team. Semenza, a 5-foot-4 forward, has four assists this season and had an assist in a 5-2 victory over Niagara last Saturday. She had four goals and nine assists for 13 points as a freshman and seven goals and six assists for 13 points as a sophomore. “Paige brings a lot of intangibles for us, like work ethic, team-first attitude and leadership,” coach Nate Handrahan said. “She has not been rewarded for her ice play with points so far but that does not take away from the kind of offense she has created for us. She works hard and plays fast against the other team’s top player and is a valuable asset to our lineup.” The Buckeyes are currently 9-5-2 overall and 6-5-1 in the

Western Collegiate Hockey Association. MCLAUGHLIN TOP STUDENT-ATHLETE – Fredonia junior Will McLaughlin of Mountain Top (Wyoming Seminary) is an outstanding performer in the class room and on the ice with the men’s hockey team. McLaughlin has picked up two assists this season and in 45 career games and has four goals and 13 assists for 17 points. “Will is what every coach dreams of as far as a studentathlete is concerned,” coach Jeff Meredith said. “He is a firstclass young man who is extremely well spoken and polite. As a student, he is a biology major in our Pre-Med Program and is looking to go on to medical school after Fredonia.” McLaughlin also does the job in the rink. “I’m not going out on a limb but I would say that Will is the fastest skater in our league (SUNYAC),” Meredith said. “He has flat out incredible speed. He works very hard and contributes not only a regular shift but is a key penalty killer as well. He is a tremendously conditioned athlete.” The Blue Devils are 4-4-3 overall and 2-3-3 in SUNYAC play. MESSINGERS ARE SOLID – Senior Myer and junior Henry Messinger are key performers for the University of Sciences in Philadelphia men’s basketball team. Both are former Dallas High athletes. Myer, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward, is averaging 13.0 points and has 20 rebounds for the 1-3 Devils. Henry, a 6-foot-5, 190pound guard/forward is averaging 9.5 points with 12 rebounds. “Both Myer and Henry will be key performers this season,” coach David Pauley said. “Their continued development will help us fully develop as a team. They will both see significant minutes and their overall play will be relied on heavily the remainder of the season.” ZAINO FINDS THE NET – After picking up five assists as a freshman, sophomore Nick Zaino (Pittston Area) already has a pair of goals for the Fitchburg men’s hockey team this season and one of them was a game-winner. Zaino, a 5-foot-8, 180-pound forward, scored the go-ahead goal in a 5-3 victory over Southern New Hampshire. He also had the first goal in a 6-4 setback to Salem State. “Nick has raised his game this year and has become a very dangerous forward,” coach Dean Fuller said. “He worked out hard over the summer and has increased his overall fitness.” The 2-5-1 Falcons return to action at Westfield State Thursday. GOOD START FOR GUGLIOTTI – Junior Chris Gugliotti (Pittston Area) has a 15-3 record in the early going for the York, PA wrestling team. Gugliotti is competing at 149 pounds and finished fifth at 157 pounds in the season-opening Monarch Invitational in WilkesBarre. Gugliotti saw a lot of action as a freshman (9-12 wrestling mainly at 141) but came into his own last season when he posted a 24-11 mark at 149 pounds. “Two of his losses were at 157 in that first tournament,” coach Thomas Kessler said. “So he has lost only once since he has gotten down to 149.” That loss came in last weekend’s New Standard Invite in York where Gugliotti finished third, posting a 4-1 record. He was beaten in the semifinals 4-3. “We fully expect Chris to be a national contender this season,” Kessler said. Freshman Bill Dress (Meyers) is also on the team. He was 1-2 in the Monarch Tournament at 165 pounds. “Bill is working really hard,” Kessler said.

NCAA president says guidelines will be put in place By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Mark Emmert is willing to help colleges and universities do a better job protecting minors on campus. In the wake of two disturbing child sex-abuse allegations in the past month, the NCAA president said Monday he has contacted U.S. Education Secretary Arnie Duncan so he can advise school leaders about the best practices in dealing with ball boys, ball girls and students who attend summer camps. “We’re looking into that right now,” Emmert told The Associat-

ed Press. “Because we’ve never been involved with this kind of thing before, we’re trying to determine what is the best thing to do.” Emmert did not provide specific details on what those guidelines may include, how extensive they could be or when they might be completed. No, Emmert does not intend to add the guidelines to the massive 400-plus page rulebook, but he wants to prevent future improprieties from occurring and wants to find out if there is a pervasive culture within athletic departments that could lead to cov-

er-ups of criminal conduct. “When you have a veil of secrecy, you have the potential for abusive behavior whether it’s in the Catholic church, a school or whatever, and that applies to all of us, not just the NCAA,” Emmert told reporters in Indianapolis. Penn State has already said it is considering a change to its school policy, too. “We are looking at issues such as you mentioned,” school president Rod Erickson said. “For example, the sports camps, and who was allowed to participate in the supervisory or oversight kind

of role. But we’re also relying on the special investigations task force, which is looking at every aspect of policy and practice. I’ve already said as part of my five promises that will implement the recommendations that come out of that investigation.” Emmert’s comments came in the final month of a scandaltinged year that has damaged the images of athletic programs from Boise State and Tennessee to Miami and Ohio State. But the recent allegations at Penn State and Syracuse are the most shocking. After a grand jury report ac-

cused former Nittany Lions defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky of abusing eight boys over a 15-year period, university trustees fired coach Joe Paterno and school President Graham Spanier. Two other former Penn State officials are charged with failing to report complaints of abuse and with lying to a grand jury. They have pleaded not guilty. Critics contended that Paterno, Spanier and other school officials should have done more to stop Sandusky, who is awaiting a preliminary hearing on 40 criminal counts. Last week, after three men ac-

cused Bernie Fine of molesting them, Syracuse fired the longtime assistant basketball coach. Federal authorities are investigating, but no charges have been filed. The Education Department announced a month ago that it would conduct an investigation at Penn State. Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., a former U.S. attorney, has encouraged Duncan to investigate possible Clery Act violations; the law requires schools to report the number of crimes on campus and provide warnings in a timely manner if safety is threatened.

PITTSBURGH — Gregory Campbell, Benoit Pouliot and Tyler Seguin scored, Tim Thomas stopped 44 shots, and the surging Boston Bruins kept rolling with a 3-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night. The Bruins improved to 14-0-1 in their last 15 games, their longest point streak since the club went 17 games without a loss in 1983. The defending Stanley Cup champions clamped down on the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins, holding star Sidney Crosby scoreless and dominating the game for long stretches. Matt Cooke scored his sixth goal of the season for Pittsburgh, but the Penguins went 0-for-4 on the power play and squandered a pair of 5-on-3 opportunities.

Senators 4, Lightning 2 OTTAWA — Nick Foligno scored 15:33 into the third period, Zack Smith added two goals, and the Ottawa Senators extended Tampa Bay’s losing streak to four games with a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Monday night. Daniel Alfredsson scored his sixth goal — the 395th of his NHL career — at 8:58 to tie it at 2. The Ottawa captain also earned an assist when Foligno gave the Senators a 3-2 lead, coming out from behind the net to tuck the puck past goalie Dwayne Roloson

Maple Leafs 4, Rangers 2 NEW YORK — Phil Kessel had two assists to add to his NHL-leading point total, and the Toronto Maples Leafs snapped the New York Rangers’ five-game winning streak with a victory. The Maple Leafs scored twice in less than two minutes to take a 3-0 lead early in the second period, then gave both goals back in another quick burst later in the period.

Radical realignment plan approved PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — NHL officials approved a radical realignment plan Monday that will give the league four conferences instead of six divisions and guarantee home-and-home series among all teams. The Board of Governors authorized commissioner Gary Bettman to implement the proposal pending input with the NHL Players’ Association. It could be put in place as early as next season The league considered two plans to accommodate Atlanta’s move to Winnipeg this past summer. The first would have simply moved the Jets to the Central Division and either Detroit or Columbus to the Southeast. “The simple one wasn’t as simple as it looked when you got done with it,” Bettman said. The board opted to go with the more dramatic switch, creating four geographic conferences — two with eight teams and two with seven. The new format will increase overall travel in the regular season, especially for Eastern Conference teams who will now have more trips West. But it cuts down on travel for some Western Conference teams, which was a critical issue for teams like Detroit, Dallas, Columbus and Nashville.

the cut. Most notable, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, a finalist last season, Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley and Houston’s record-breaking passer, Case Keenum, did not receive enough votes to be among the final five. Ballots from the 926 voters, mostly media members and former winners, were due Monday evening. Luck was the Heisman runnerup to Auburn’s Cam Newton last year and passed up a chance to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft to return to Stanford for his junior season. From the moment he made the decision to stay in school in January, he became the odds-on favorite to win the big bronze statue this season. He had another stellar season, passing for 3,170 yards with 35 touchdowns while leading the Cardinal to an 11-1 record and a

second straight BCS bid. But the competition has been so fierce that it’s been tough for Luck to hold onto his front-runner status. In fact, at least one prognosticator now has Griffin as the most likely winner. Heismanpundit.com, which has successfully predicted the past four winners with a straw poll of 13 voters, had Griffin as its top vote-getter on Monday. Luck was second and Richardson third. The quarterback called RG3 by Baylor fans leads the nation in passer rating (192.3), with 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns. He has also ran for 644 yards and nine touchdowns. And much like Luck, Griffin has led a long-struggling program to its greatest success in decades. Baylor is 9-3 this season, its first nine-win season since 1986. The best showing a Baylor player has ever had in the Heisman voting was quarterback Don Trull’s fourth-place finish in 1963. Richardson has been the unquestioned offensive engine for

The sophomore cornerback is the second defensive player to be a Heisman finalist in the past three years. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska finished fourth in 2009. Mathieu, though, is more like Charles Woodson, the do-it-all defensive back who won the1997 Heisman for Michigan. Mathieu has forced five fumbles, intercepted two passes and scored four touchdowns, including two long punt returns in LSU’s past two games against Arkansas and Georgia. He also was suspended for a game this season for violating the team’s drug policy. Ball has been a touchdown machine for Wisconsin and ranks fourth in rushing at 135.3 yards per game.

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles are finally getting their quarterback back. Perhaps too little, too late. Michael Vick, the NFC’s starting Pro Bowl quarterback a year ago, returned to practice Monday after missing three games with two broken ribs, and will play this weekend as last-place Philadelphia (4-8) meets the Miami Dolphins (4-8). “I’ll definitely be out there,” Vick said. “I feel like I’ve got to be accountable for my team. I want to be there. You know, I just want to get back to doing what I love to do, and that’s playing the game of football. There’s nothing in this world like the game. I put my heart and soul into it, man, and I just wish I could have been out there the last three weeks, but it just hasn’t panned out that way.” The Eagles were 1-2 without Vick, as former Titans Pro Bowl quarterback Vince Young

tossed eight interceptions and just four touchdowns. Vick suffered two broken ribs in the Eagles’ 21-17 Vick loss Nov. 13 to the Cardinals at home. The Eagles are 3-6 in Vick’s nine starts this year, and he has 11 touchdown passes to go with 11 interceptions. “He’s back on top of things,” center Jason Kelce said. “And mentally, he was all there today, which you would think with a guy missing a few weeks, that he would be kind of slow to come back, but he was on top of it. “So, it was good to have him back.” The Eagles need to win their last four games to avoid their first losing season since 2005 and only their second in 13 years under coach Andy Reid. “I just think we put ourselves in bad situations sometimes, including myself,” Vick said. “I was a big part of it. ... Obviously, I wish I could have done more this year like I did last year, but that’s just not the case.”

It set up a relatively highprofile matchup for the TicketCity between the 24th-ranked Nittany Lions and No. 20 Houston (12-1) with star quarterback Case Keenum. The Cougars fell from a potential Bowl Championship Series berth to the TicketCity after getting upset 49-28 by Southern Mississippi on Saturday in the Conference USA title game. “We knew when we had a chance to get Penn State again, we said, ‘Let’s try to get a good opponent.’ Then it doesn’t matter who picks second or who picks fourth,” Starr said. “I just wanted to put the best matchup

Longtime defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, who took over as interim coach after Paterno’s dismissal, has voiced interest in keeping the job on a permanent basis. A six-person committee has spoken almost daily in the search for a replacement. School officials haven’t ruled out internal candidates, and president Rodney Erickson has said it will be a wide-open search. One high-profile name rumored to be a potential replacement, former Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy, told USA Today on Monday that he was not a candidate for the job. Dungy, now an NFL analyst for NBC, said he’s focused on being able to watch his son, freshman Eric Dungy, play receiver at Oregon. A message for Dungy from the AP seeking comment was not immediately returned Monday night.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Apple’s iPad is the bane of computer memory makers, worsening the industry’s losses as consumers choose the hand-held device that uses about 75 percent fewer of the chips than a typical laptop. Elpida Memory, Hynix Semiconductor and other makers of dynamic random-access memory, the most common chip in computers, lost a combined $14 billion in the past three years, according to Bloomberg calculations. That comes after the $37 billion that researcher DRAMeXchange estimates they spent building factories in a bet on continued growth in the industry. PC shipments climbed 3.2 percent to 92 million units last quarter, compared with an earlier projection for 5.1 percent growth, Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner said. IPad sales in the same period exceeded computer shipments by Dell, the world’s No. 3 seller.

Financial terms were not given. Gowalla co-founder Josh Williams says in a blog post that Gowalla will join Facebook in California.

Boswell blended them together with imagery from the Hubble space telescope, scientific animations and other sources and set them to synthesized audio ONLINE tracks. Using this method, Boswell has To see video, produced 12 videos, scan this QR code into your on topics including smartphone or space exploration, visit www.tiquantum physics, and mesleader.com evolution. In doing so, he has created a unique experience. Even when presented in documentaries and formatted for the layman, highorder science is often a bit heavy for many people to take in. Set to music and combined with breathtaking imagery, Boswell’s videos engage both your attention and your brain, feeding it digestible bits of information set to music. As a result, I now clearly remember

that there are 12 elementary particles of matter and four fundamental forces in physics. Boswell has done something that few before him have been able to accomplish. He’s gotten quantum physics and evolutionary theory stuck in people’s heads along with his music, so I can now easily recall that humans have been around for 200,000 years, and that makes me think, “Gee, that’s really not very long, because the other song says that the universe is 14 billion years old.” Even if you know all of that, it’s seldom available for recall the way a piece of music would be. For children, this sort of learning – engaging multiple senses -- has been proven to increase recall dramatically. For adults who are interested in science, it’s just plain cool.

K SHOP FOR SHOES WISELY

Whatever type of shoe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying, they can affect the health of your feet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and far more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If your shoes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t absorbing shock well, then your feet will, and then your knees, hips and back,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Jacqueline Sutera, a podiatric medicine and surgery specialist in New York City. Some tips: Consider the activity. Running

and walking shoes are designed for forward motion, while tennis, basketball and cross-training types are meant to move from side to side. Go shopping late in the day. Your feet are smallest in the morning, before swelling and gravity do their work. Your shoes should fit the bigger size. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too loyal to your size

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I THINK THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL REALLY BENEFIT THE LOCAL AND CAMPUS COMMUNITIES

DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sister Constance Kozel is 78 and suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. Walking and other athome exercises help her manage the pain but the care she gets at a Misericordia University student-run physical therapy clinic makes the most difference. If it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the low-cost clinic, Kozel jokingly says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be stiff.â&#x20AC;? Not only does she benefit from the offering, but the students in the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Physical Therapy benefit from the opportunity to treat her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that working with Sister Constance was an excellent opportunity to get out of the classroom and actually practice what we were learning with a real patient. I felt it was very rewarding working with her. We could tell that she really appreciated what we were doing with her to try and maximize her functional abilities,â&#x20AC;? said student Mike Dluzeski, of Still-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;number.â&#x20AC;? Not every shoe company cuts its products the same way. Your size should be a starting point only; the best fit may be a half- or even full-size away from usual. Fit for your longest toe. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus only on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigâ&#x20AC;? toe if your second toe is actually longer. Aim for about a thumbwidth of distance between your longest toe and the end of a shoe.

ASK DR. H MITCHELL HECHT

Krillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superiority over fish oil unsubstantiated Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your opinion of krill oil? Do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than fish oil? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;R.Y., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. A: There are many manufacturers and distributors that would like you to believe that krill oil, a tiny shrimplike creature found in the deep waters of the Antarctic Ocean, is superior to fish oil in terms of its protection against heart disease, reduction of triglycerides and cholesterol, arthritis pain, menstrual pain, stroke prevention and a myriad of unsubstantiated benefits like improved energy, memory, skin and diabetes prevention. Like fish oil, krill oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It also contains omega-6 fatty acids (which researchers cannot agree on whether or not they may be helpful or harmful), an antioxidant in the carotenoid (Vitamin A) family (also of uncertain benefit) and other substances called phospholipids. In terms of DHA and EPA content, fish oil is a much more potent source of them. In terms of actual human studies to substantiate those bold claims of krill oilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficacy, there are surprisingly only three: a 12-week study that had to do with lowering LDL â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? cholesterol and raising HDL â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? cholesterol. It did show krill oil to be superior to fish oil, but it was only a small pilot study; another small study comparing krill oil against fish oil in the treatment of painful menstruation; and a third small study suggesting that krill oil might be helpful against arthritis pain. Krill oilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear superiority over fish oil is as yet not proven. Krill, consumed in large quantities, are an important part of the food supply to whales. Large human harvesting of krill may threaten their survival. On the other hand, fish oil derived from wild salmon and cod is plentiful, cheaper and of proven benefit. Q: At what age should a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cholesterol first be checked? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;B.W., Atlanta A: Believe it or not, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family history of high cholesterol or premature heart disease, screening should be done as early as 2 years of age. For all other kids, the just-released National Institutes of Health cholesterol guidelines recommend that a baseline fasting blood cholesterol level be checked between the ages of 9 and 11, and then again between the ages of 17 and 21. These guidelines are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The goal is for a total cholesterol level to be less than 170 mg/dl. Why start so young? The reason is that the disease of atherosclerosis begins in youth. Autopsy studies of young soldiers killed in the Korean and Vietnam wars showed that silent heart disease was already present in late adolescence and early adulthood. Besides attention to cholesterol, smoking (including inhaling second-hand smoke) is another clear risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis in young adults.

He said the collaboration is something he would have appreciated having when he was a student. “I think this partnership will really benefit the local and campus communities as well as give the physical therapy students some great opportunities to experience real cases and learn some of the business aspects of clinic operation,” said Hogan, 35, of Drums. “I think it’s great that Misericordia students have this opportunity, really right on campus. I feel it will be beneficial for NovaCare, which is looking to grow in the area, as well as strengthening an already strong Misericordia PT program with opportunities that didn’t exist before.” Susan Barker, the chairwoman of the school’s Physical Therapy Department, said the relationship with NovaCare is a win, win, win.

He said his new boots were a big deal for him. “My shoes had holes in them, I have blisters on my feet and there’s no way I could afford to buy new boots,” he said. Greer, who came from Fresno, Calif., about a month ago, landed a job in a few weeks.

new shoes couldn’t have come at a better time. He said the local homeless population is facing exceptionally hard times right now because of the poor economy and as the rains begin, things start looking pretty grim. “This event is done really professionally and we’re extremely grateful,” Martin said. “Getting these new shoes is like the crown.”

Dr. Nicholas Abidi fits a shoe onto a patient’s foot at the Homeless Shelter in Santa Cruz, Calif.

Dr. Nicholas Abidi offered tips for foot care on the streets: • Shake out shoes and allow them to dry daily. • Change socks at least once every day and don’t wear wet socks. • Use moisturizing skin cream regularly if suffering from dry skin. • If diabetic, pat-dry feet instead of rubbing. • Inspect the bottoms of feet every day with a mirror, especially if diabetic. • Seek medical help as soon as possible if sores develop. • Shoes should fit without pressure or rubbing on prominent areas of the feet.

new area, her students get hands on experience they typically wouldn’t get and the community gets both professional and student operated clinics in their backyard. Barker said the 150 students in the program can ask NovaCare employees questions, shadow them and learn about aspects of the profession from diagnosis to treatments at a hands on level that a textbook perhaps couldn’t provide. “They like the opportunity to observe a real physical therapist in action,” Barker said. In addition to Hogan, another Misericordia University Class of 1999 alum is involved in the NovaCare clinic. Frank Serino, a Pittston native who now lives in Lansdale, is the market manager for NovaCare and has hours at the Dallas clinic each week. “Myself and Frank, we both graduated from here and we love this school a lot,” Hogan said. Serino, who oversees more than a half dozen clinics in eastern Pennsylvania, said the connection to Misericordia runs deep. “I cannot explain how excited I am to be back and intimately involved with MU,” Serino said.

as they took their seat: “Do you have diabetes or any infections?” and “What’s your shoe size?” The event, held in 25 cities around the country, is called “Our Hearts to Your Soles,” and is sponsored locally by the Santa Cruz Orthopedic Institute, where Abidi works. The campaign was founded in 2004 by orthopedic practitioner Dr. Stephen Conti, from Pittsburgh, who contacted all of his colleagues to get them onboard with the charity project. Abidi said that as the cold, wet winter months begin, many of the homeless, especially those with diabetes, suffer from badly infected feet due to improper foot care and shoes that don’t fit. The homeless tend to be on their feet a good portion of the day, he said, so when it’s raining out and their shoes don’t fit and they don’t have dry socks, they end up in hospitals needing treatment for serious conditions that cost thousands. Diabetic ulcerations on the feet lead to more hospital admissions for the homeless than any other reason in the country, Abidi said. The best things people can do to prevent these kinds of injuries are changing socks once a day and regularly drying out their shoes, he advised. Many who turned out for the “Our Hearts to Your Soles” event wore shoes that didn’t fit properly or were full of holes.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2011 PAGE 5C

Airlines are always thinking small even as Americans are getting big Dear Abby: This letter is to offer sympathy to “Trish in Louisiana” (Sept. 25), who was seated next to two large passengers on a threehour flight. It has happened to me. The airlines control the size and weight of baggage, whether it’s checked or carry-on, and charge when it’s overweight. So why do they turn a blind eye when it comes to passengers who must endure being crowded out of the seats we have paid for? If airlines aren’t willing to screen passengers for size, perhaps they should provide a few rows of larger seats to accommodate them. Airlines have sacrificed comfort for

DEAR ABBY ADVICE economy to the point that the seats are simply too small. I’m an averagesize woman, but I find the seats are barely large enough. They’re crowded so close together you can’t move your legs, and they don’t actually recline. I agree with your advice to speak up if you find yourself being squeezed. — Ellen in Las Cruces Dear Ellen: While your letter reflects the views of many readers, they ALL agree that airlines need to do a better job of customer service regarding the seating on passenger planes. My newspaper readers comment:

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: As America grows larger, airline seats grow smaller. Trish was right to be compassionate. If airlines treat large people (who are also paying customers) like dirt so they can turn a profit by squeezing passengers into every inch of space, they are WRONG. There are ways to be creative and not humiliate anyone. The flight attendant could have moved a child to her seat with Mom across the aisle. I recommend that flight attendants think along those lines, because having a gate attendant drag people off flights is not the best way to handle this and should only be a last resort. We’re all customers, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity. — Mary in Virginia Beach, Va.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: The fault lies with airline management. They should specify up front in their ad campaigns that if the passengers’ dimensions exceed certain parameters, they must buy two tickets. — Comfortable On the Ground Dear Abby: My heart goes out to all three. I am a plus-size woman and my husband is “normal” size. His field is marketing, and I showed him your letter. He said recent surveys have shown that one-third of people who refuse to fly do so because of the tight seating, and not fear of an accident. Airlines pack people in like sardines to make more money, and it is resented. I quit flying years ago because of

claustrophobia. If I had to fly now, I’d buy a first-class ticket. I wonder why the planes don’t have six or eight seats in the back of coach that are larger and cost more money, but less than first class. Something has to be done to make flying safer and more comfortable for everyone. Surely we have the intellectual capacity to solve these problems. — No Longer a Frequent Flier in New York

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can rely on other people to do what they said they would do, though you may have to issue friendly reminders. Also, make sure everyone is clear about what the task at hand really is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t need to be told what to do and you’ll likely reject anyone who tries to guide you. But the one who tells you how to do a job well will get your attention. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can help others out and still have fun; you just have to get organized. When you think it through, you’ll put things together in a way that will help you get the most enjoyment out of your life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though there are moments when you feel uncared for, there are more moments in which you realize you’re being taken care of. It’s as though some unseen force is putting you in the right place at the right time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get the opportunity to show people what you can do best. And if you step up and let your talent be seen, more such opportunities will arise in the near future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is not always a cure for what ails you, but sometimes the way you deal with a problem is even better than a cure. A system of management may give you fresh life and vitality. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will try to put things in perspective for you. Who are they to tell you how to feel? If it’s important to you, then it’s important, period.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You see an opportunity, and yet this is no easy feat. You won’t be able to simply “let it happen” on this one. If you want it to happen, you’ll have to make it happen. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people are disturbed by thoughts of the future. Not you. You know it will be better than the present because you keep getting more and more savvy about how to make it so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s so much you take for granted about your own talents and strengths. You need someone to hold a mirror up to you. Also, glimpsing into another person’s life will make you feel more connected to your own. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re further along in a project than you thought you’d be at this time. With a little more organization and the helping hand of a friend, you can finish this up or at least bring it to a workable end as early as tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Life presents itself to you, and you feel the privilege in this. Your breath, your thoughts and fantasies, the filling of your senses — it’s all a gift that you keep unwrapping. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 6). You will enjoy a harmonious existence with others. January brings the energetic jolt of exciting new ideas. June shows you on the receiving end of praise and awards. Family closeness will be the source of future happy memories. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 14, 38, 19 and 50.
